How do you get your pictures too look like the picture is sitting on water or a shiny floor. Apple do it in their itunes artwork descriptions. It creates a mirror effect?

Dupe the layer, then with the selection tool active, hit control T. Now it's transformed and you have handles on the corners. Go to Transform under edit (I think) and find flip verticle. Hit return to get out of Transform. Move the image below the original and reduce the opacity of the dupe a little . Now add a gradient mask to the dupe and change it to Multiply. Select the outline of the image and play with the gradient mask till it looks good.

How do you draw a Christmas tree and presents in qBasic?

Drawing natural looking trees in any programming language is difficult. The problem is trees (and many other living things) grow in a fractal manner, so look up "fractal mathematics" for ideas. If you don't want to do this research, then you can draw one on paper as you think it should look and hand code the program to exactly duplicate your paper drawing (but when I tried this in the early 1980s it came out looking worse than "a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree").

As to presents and decorations, they are quite trivial as they are almost always regular geometric shapes.

Just remember to have at least some of the lights flashing on and off and have Santa Claus in his Sleigh with all his Reindeer do a flyby in the background! These are all simple animations and much easier than coding a natural looking tree.

In my case back in the early 1980s I approximated a simple "step, scale, and repeat" type fractal to create the branches using some special graphics operations in the special purpose graphics programming language that I was using that qBasic does not have (although you could implement something like them with several subroutines that your main program would call). Although it still wasn't perfect it did produce a feel of a natural looking tree without requiring any really complicated code. I won the "Most Original Tree" prize at work that year and the next year was asked to rewrite it slightly (without animations) so it could be photographed for the Company Christmas Card!

Edit: the webpage above no longer works im sorry about that :-/

Actually there is an English version of PMD and all you should have to do is search VPVP wiki and then look around on there and find the version. Mine says this:

What does an arrow represent in a figure or diagram?

Generally speaking, an arrow beside or within a diagram can be used to:

  1. draw the reader's attention to one specific item, OR
  2. show the single direction of a relationship
  3. show the direction of a process
  4. show the direction of a result

As some examples:

  1. A diagram shows the human heart set within the thoracic cavity. Two arrows point to the right and left sides of the lower heart chambers. The arrows are pointing to the ventricles.
  2. A diagram shows a female in a workplace. The subject is salaries and inequality of salaries between males and females. An arrow might be written to imply a direct relationship between gender and salary: Female--->Lower wages
  3. A figure shows a green plant taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. There would be too arrows, one showing the direction of the process of the plant using CO2... and another arrow showing the plant producing and giving off O2.
  4. A picture shows a graph of blood alcohol levels and traffic accidents. Below the graph is a caption: Higher BAC ---->increased traffic accidents.



What is the difference between direct emulsion and indirect emulsion in screen printing?

In screen printing - Direct emulsion is a liquid substance, that when coated onto a mesh with a scoop coater, dries to form a photosensitive film. Indirect emulsion is a sheet of dry emulsion that is typically adhered to mesh with a solvent. When either emulsion is applied mesh, and is dry, it can be exposed to light and creates a stencil of the art to be printed.

The effectiveness of composition of poster art?

A strong composition on a poster is most effective. One needs to draw, or grab, the eye of the viewer and communicate in an instant a message or idea. Brief bits of information that are highly readable complete the poster. Toulouse Latrec made some very effective posters and composition is foremost in his pieces. Look at the highly collectible posters of the psychedelic 1960's for another good example.

In watchmen why is rorschach crazy?

Youd be a lil nutts too if u lived that life...his mum was a prossi.. he saw some pretty grusome death scenes.. he got picked on when he was little..and just the fact that he was the only thing standing in the way of society and criminal minds!!! RWAH!
